Mars and Venus: or, The Amorous combatants. Mars strives for to give Venus castle the rout, but the most valiantly did beat him out; he lost the day for all he was three to one, he could not stay, his powder all was gone: and furthermore he got a sore mischance, to save some balls he spoiled his best lance; she bids him come as often as he will, for all his force, she can resist him still. To a pleasant new tune, or, Mars and Venus.
